Chapter 298: Chapter 238: A Clash (Part 3)

Clearly, the recovery was only superficial. It didn’t possess any ability for rapid regeneration.

The giant pig emerged from the ruins and stepped into the sunlight. Its body, over ten meters long, fully unfurled, resembling a writhing, silver mountain of flesh. The shadow it cast completely enveloped half the parking lot.

Its massive body swiveled back and forth in the open lot. Tucked within folds of flesh on either side of its body, two blood-red, basketball-sized pupils scanned the empty space, searching for the "ant" that had wounded it.

...

"It was too shallow..." On the rooftop, Ye Qingzhou’s fingers dug into the edge of the corrugated metal roof, her eyes bloodshot from intense focus. "Most of the energy from that strike missed. It didn’t hit the main body."

"What now?" Chu Zhaozhao turned to glance at Ye Qingzhou, eager to hear her take on the situation. "Big Bro’s disappeared again. Are we supposed to retreat? ...Should we, too?"

"Let’s wait. Lin Fan hasn’t given us a signal. He’s not done yet," Su Qing said calmly, pressing Chu Zhaozhao’s hand down.

...

Lin Fan watched the wound slowly close, but its Life Value didn’t recover. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. ’If a monster this massive, with so many combined abilities, could also infinitely regenerate health, then I’d really be out of options.’

’That last attack consumed twenty of my energy points. Part of it went to powering the Impact Crystal, while the other part fueled the Sharpness Crystal for an energized slash. That’s what broke through its energy defense and prevented a repeat of my clash with the Giant-Armed Zombie, which ended in an explosion.’

’But even so, if I can only deal double-digit damage with each hit, I’ll run out of mana long before I can chip it to death.’

’Let’s try again.’ Lin Fan steeled his resolve and stomped hard on the hood of the car. The steel frame immediately buckled under his foot, letting out a loud THUD.

The pig heard the noise and charged, moving with a speed that defied its size, like an oncoming mountain!

A tusk stabbed violently into the front of the truck. With an upward jerk, it sent the whole vehicle shuddering into the air before slamming it back to the ground.

Its blood-red eyes swept over the wreckage, but it still couldn’t find the "ant." It thrashed about in a rage, its tusks crackling with impact energy, and smashed the truck’s remains to pieces, blow by blow.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan had already leaped into the air. A greatsword materialized in his hands, and he channeled all his strength into a downward smash!

WHOOSH—

Just as the blade was about to strike the giant pig’s head, energy erupted from the back of the sword, causing it to accelerate violently. The immense inertia swung Lin Fan’s airborne body through a wide, circular arc, like a full moon!

Like a brutal over-the-shoulder throw, he swung the entire greatsword around and brought it down, driving it deep into the giant pig’s forehead—right in the center, just above its two tusks!

DONG!

A deep, thunderous thud!

The greatsword shattered the hard, steel-like bristles, tore through hide and flesh, and sank to the hilt, burying itself deep within the giant pig’s head!

The blade embedded itself directly into its incredibly hard, internally reinforced skull!

[-192]!

[5736/6000]!

’Triple-digit damage!’

Lin Fan’s heart leaped. ’Looks like this giant pig isn’t invincible after all!’

However, he was still in mid-air with no footing or leverage. He quickly switched to the Armor Crystal (Legendary) and landed on the pig’s back. He endured the countless sharp, nail-like bristles stabbing at him, his body flaring with golden light as they made contact. He reached down, grabbed the hilt of the greatsword, and retracted it into his inventory.

He then leaped away, but before he could conceal himself and flee, a thick "utility pole" was already smashing down on him...

Enraged by the blow to its head, the giant pig had instantly locked onto the "ant’s" position. With a violent swing of its body, its tusk, crackling with impact energy, smashed into Lin Fan, who was still in mid-air with no way to dodge!

BANG!

The Armor Crystal flared with a burst of golden light. He was sent flying by the immense force like the Golden Snitch, crashing into a distant factory building!

"Lin Fan!"

"Big Bro!"

On the roof, Chu Zhaozhao and Su Qing saw Lin Fan get hit and cried out in alarm. Just as they were about to go down to help, the metal roofing behind them was violently pierced from below with a loud RIIIP! A battered figure burst out!

It was none other than Lin Fan!

"Go, go, go!"

As soon as Lin Fan landed on the roof, he yelled at the two women, then immediately swept Ye Qingzhou into his arms and leaped down toward the road to the north.

Chu Zhaozhao and Su Qing immediately sprang into action. Each grabbed a piece of rebar and used it to slide down after him, as if riding a zipline.

The moment the four of them were clear, the factory building behind them erupted in a massive fireball. In an instant, the entire structure was engulfed in roaring flames. The giant pig, which had been preparing to charge inside in pursuit, was forced back by the blast. It could only remain in the parking lot, letting out a series of terrifying howls.
